3. The Time of Revolts
December 31, 2023
Stalin's death in 1953 unleashes revolt: Berlin workers strike, Hungary rises in 1956, and Khrushchev's denunciation stirs hope. But Soviet tanks crush uprisings, leaving repression harsher than ever. People live double lives-outwardly loyal, privately critical. In 1961, the Berlin Wall seals the Iron Curtain, trapping Eastern Europe in Moscow's grip.
2. The Reign of Stalin
December 31, 2023
By Stalin's 70th birthday in 1949, Soviet domination of Eastern Europe is complete. Cities bear his name, collectivization uproots families, the Church is persecuted, and youth indoctrinated. Jews face new purges, culminating in Prague's show trials. With fear gripping 80 million people, Stalin's death in 1953 finally sparks a wave of hope for change.
